About this property

Lovely Lockwood River Cottage

A cute cosy 2 bedroom Lockwood holiday home.
Only a short walk through Cherry Lane to the famous trout fishing Tongoririo River, with the town shops only a few minutes walk away.
Lake Taupo is minutes away by car with lovely picturesque bays and picnic spots. The ski feilds are 30 minutes drive away.
There are so many other activities to do eg white water rafting. tramping ,fishing,sking, and dinning out etc or just relaxing.
The cottage is surrounded by beautiful trees and on a still night you can hear the river. The cottage is very relaxing and comfortable, it has been insulated and a heat pump /aircon has recently been installed

Check out our other property on Bookabach listing number 25372 located two doors up the road

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Leave the cottage tidy, do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);
